Some highlights:
• Since DeepMind’s foundation in 2010, the constrained yet rich worlds of games have played a critical role in understanding intelligence
• the spirit of exploration that succeeded in games had profound impacts for other AI systems: AlphaFold applied these foundations to help solve the 50-year grand challenge of protein structure prediction
• For AI research, this is a golden opportunity... demands precisely the capabilities we believe are essential for frontier AI:
• Continual learning
• Memory
• Long horizon planning
• Complex multi-agent dynamics
• Games have always been a mirror for intelligence
